I-MapInfo: Izolo, namhlanje futhi mhlawumbe kusasa

IMapInfo yisoftware esenziwe yathandwa njalo njengenye indlela yokuncintisana esizindeni se-ESRI. Kuningi okulotshwe ngaleli thuluzi, ngifuna ukunikezela lokhu okuthunyelwe ekubuyekezeni izitayela kunamakhono, okuthi ngokocwaningo lweDaratech 2008 luvele endaweni yesikhombisa ngokuya ngokuthengisa kuka-2008 nangesithupha ngokuya nge-GIS yendabuko . Ngingathanda kanjani ukwazi ukuthi amapulatifomu abamba iqhaza kanjani umthombo ovulekile ukuthi manje unezinga elihle lokuvuthwa.

Ngaphambi kokuba: I-1. ESRI I-2. Bentley I-3. I-AutoDesk I-4 I-Intergraph I-5 GE Energy (SmallWorld) I-6 I-Leica (i-Erdas nokuningi)

Izolo: Enye indlela eya ku-ESRI

IMapInfo yavela ngeminyaka yama-80s yancintisana kumfelandawonye neMicrosoft ngokumelene nama-extremes amabili lokho kwakusho i-ArcView ne-Workstation Arc / Info; zombili zivela endaweni ye-UNIX, eyodwa ilula ukwedelela kanti enye i-astral ngokweqile njengoba kuzohlala kubhekwa. Ngakho-ke, kule panorama, iMapInfo ibonakala njengesixazululo esishibhile kune-ArcView, enokubukeka okuhle ngoba ifana neWindows kepha inezinguqulo zeMacintosh ne-UNIX.

Phakathi naleso sikhathi, konke okunye kwakungamanye amaza, iBentley yayingenasidingo ngaphambi kwama-geofumadas kwakusho i-Intergraph, Autodesk wayelwa nomhlaba wakhe we-CAD, i-GE SmallWorld yayingekho ngisho nasemaphusheni (futhi ukube bekungekho nge-GE ngabe ayikho). Eyayikhona kwakungu-ERDAS, manje esesitholwe nguLeica futhi yangezwa kwezinye izesekeli, ivela endaweni yesithupha.

Ngesikhathi esilungile I-Windows 95 ivele sasimangalisa izinto ezilula kakhulu ezazihle eMapInfo, njengenkinobho esc ukumisa izinqubo zokulenga, ukusondeza kuqala, izinguquko kumikhombandlela ngaphandle kokulahlekelwa isixhumanisi, ukuvela obala, ukukhululeka kokuhlanganisa okukodwa kuya kokuningi nokuningi kokuningi. Izinto i-ArcView 2.1 engazenzanga, ingasaphathwa eyokwakhiwa kolayini bomugqa wentaba, ukuthi ngokuhlanganiswa kweVertical Mapper MapInfo engakwenza, nokuthi i-Arc / Info kuphela ephethwe kepha sesivele sazi ukuthi kubiza malini (phakathi kuka- $ 10,000 kuya ku- $ 20,000).

Khona-ke MapInfo ngaleso sikhathi kwaba okunye okukhulu nokucindezela ikani ukuthi ArcView 2x, baqhubeka impi kuze 3x bese uvele igebe naleso ambalwa khumbula kwakugcwele.

Namuhla, ithuluzi elinamandla

Abasebenzisi beMapInfo bayalivikela izinyo nozipho, yize bebazi ubuthakathaka balo (ezinhlotsheni ezingaphambi kuka-9) ekwelapheni izithombe, kwamukelwa ukuthi ekwakhiweni kwemikhiqizo ekhishwayo (amamephu wokuphrinta) kuyamangalisa. Okunye ukusebenza kwesitayela se-AutoCAD kuyakhanga kakhulu, njengokulawulwa kwesendlalelo nokuhlelwa kwevektha, phakathi kwezinto ezingimangaze kakhulu, mathupha ukuthekeliswa kwe-pdf kulawulwa izingqimba, lapho izingqimba zingasuswa khona noma zivuliwe ngepaneli elihlangene.

Okwenzekayo ukuthi iMapInfo ibe yinkampani yomphakathi, futhi kuya ngokuthi ngubani onamasheya amaningi kuyinkimbinkimbi uma kuqhathaniswa nezinkampani ezizimele njenge-ESRI neBentley, ukunikeza izibonelo ezimbili. Ngakho-ke, ukubona iMapInfo kufanele ucabangele lezi zigaba ezahlukahlukene: ngaphambi kwenguqulo 7, ngaphambi kwenguqulo 8 nangaphambi kwenguqulo 9. Ngakho-ke ubulukhuni bayo I-Lifecycle kwemikhiqizo.

Uma silinganise iMapinfo ngokuqhathanisa ne-ArcView 9x (ngaphandle kwezandiso), baya ekukhawulweni kwenhlawulo, futhi kuyayishaya ngokusebenza. Uma siyilinganise nge ezininginingi, ilahlekelwa ngokuya ngama-geofumados nentengo, kepha iyishaya ekukhiqizeni imikhiqizo yokuphuma nemvelo enobungane. Ngakho-ke iMapInfo iyithuluzi elihle, eliqinile kakhulu kumazinga we-OGC, ligcwaliswa ngeMapBasic, iMapXtreme neRouting yokwakha izinhlelo zokusebenza ezingokwezifiso hhayi kuphela ideskithophu kepha newebhu.

Ezingeni leklayenti, iMapinfo isekela i-WMS, i-WFS, i-SFS ne-GML; ngenkathi iseva yeMapMarker, iMapXtreme ne-Envinsa benza iziqu zabo. IMapXtreme igcwalisa kokubili njengeklayenti nanjengeseva.

Ukuhlelwa kabusha kwenguqulo 10 kungumusi omkhulu, ngokususelwa kuzinguqulo zangaphambilini kepha kunginikeza isithombe sokuthi bayiphendule njengesokisi yomthengisi we-ayisikhilimu. Kungabonakala, kunokubuyekeza i-interface, umzamo omkhulu wokwenza ubuthakathaka obuningi bezinguqulo zangaphambilini bufezeke, kufaka phakathi ukuxhumana kwayo nePostgre nePostGIS kubaluleke kakhulu.

Mhlawumbe Kusasa

Ukuphazamiseka kwakho konke lokhu, yilokho ukuba yinkampani yomphakathi, futhi uthola iningi lamasheya PitneyBowes, I-MapInfo ikhona ithuluzi elilodwa elilodwa inkampani enkulu engenayo i-GIS njengeseqhulwini. Okufunwa yiPitneyBowes ithuluzi elingenza ngalo ukujwayela kwe-geospatial kuzindawo zalo ezikhona, ngakho-ke ukuthengwa kungaba yingozi kunokuzuzisa ithuluzi.

Isimo sami esibi asisihle, kepha yilokho okungenzeki enkampanini ezimele, lapho umdali wayo engaboni nje kuphela imali angayikhiqiza kodwa futhi nokuziqhenya kokuyibona izalwa hhayi ngaphandle kokuthi inkinga yezomnotho ingabekezeleleki, akuyona eyakhe yokuqala phuma uthengisele obiza kakhulu noma ucishe ngenxa yokungasebenzi.

Sethemba ukuthi akunjalo, ngoba ukubamba iqhaza kwabo emakethe kubalulekile futhi ngaphezu kwemakethe, bangamakhasimende alindele ukugcina ukwethembeka kuzo zombili izinkomba. Amathuluzi amaningi engikhulume ngawo lapha, njengawo Cadcorp y  GIS ezininginingi Bangathanda ukuba nelungelo lelo.
